XXVIII. Loneliness
Years

By Walter Savage Landor (1775–1864)


YEARS, many parti-colour’d years,
Some have crept on, and some have flown,
Since first before me fell those tears
I never could see fall alone.

Years, not so many, are to come,	5
Years not so varied, when from you
One more will fall: when, carried home,
I see it not, nor hear Adieu.
